The following is intended only to provide reading assignments during each week. As for lectures, it may take more or less than one session to complete the topic. The lectures will not necessarily coincide with the textbook assignments, nor are they meant to (I do not lecture from the textbook). It is the responsibility of each student to insure that s/he is informed as to the date of exams and to bring appropriate test materials to class.
